    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Won't fit with the posts and disconnects :( Fairly sure you could make an offset stand for it tho and use the space that's wasted at the bottom? Potentially drop it down another 20cm which would be enough. The 35litre is perfect for me as I brew all sorts of amounts depending on what I'm...

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    It's the same width but taller. Fairly sure it not fit in my 5 foot fridge. I think the sizing is the only thing that's not improved. I really like the 35litre size.

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Not sure think it might still be preorder in Aus. They are getting reduced over here (malt miller for example) so presumably it's on its way. Looks a massive improvement from the one I have which is a bit annoying!

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Have you seen the mark 2? 2 sizes and various improvements. Thermowell, purge valve on collection bottle, bigger top opening and massively bigger butterfly valve at bottom, stronger stand and plastic that can withstand over 100c. They'll sell alot of those if they keep the price down way...

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Was gonna use a fairly long run of tubing to drop the pressure in the line. That said I just saw they steel bottling wands so might upgrade to a shiny one. How do you find the FS? Apart from the fact you cannot really dump yeast very well it's been a great purchase. Especially as I got the...

    Bottling from the fermentasaurus

    Morning. I normally keg, not bottled anything for 4 years but recently got inspired to do a Belgium Tripel which could do with going into 330s really. I decided to not ferment under pressure so it won't be carbed but wondering if once done Iattach the pressure lid with some tube to the bottling...

    How water proof is grainfather?

    Aye I wouldn't let it get soaked. Just it may start spitting outside before I have a chance to notice. A plastic bag over the controller would no doubt work. Just wondering about the rest of it. And presumably it's all stainless on the outside? I.e it's not at risk of rusting. Might just get a...

    How water proof is grainfather?

    I brew outside. It rains occasionally obviously. I do tend to avoid brewing when it's obviously gonna piss down but sometimes get caught out. Can the grainfather deal with a bit of rain? I can get a cover of some sort but it will still get a little bit wet. I do have a waterproof plug enclosure...

    Fermentasaurus conical PET fermenter

    I like the butterfly valve replacement. Especially as it's so easy to over tighten that bit and have to replace it (after having to Dremel that bit off!) Would have been cheaper to replace it as above. The dip tube not so much. The silicon tube never comes off the bottom if you put on the...

    fancy a wheat beer

    For a decent, refreshing wheat beer just mash 50% wheat with 50% pilsner at 65c for an hour. Hop to 15ibu with a noble hop and ferment at 20c with a dry weizen yeast. For an even better wheat beer do the same but with 100% german ingredients from malt miller and use a liquid hefeweizen yeast...
